break vs block

| | Comments (1)
the two methods of introducing light 1) breaking the shell into two parts (which can then be linked to the transportation issue since the pannels as they are, are too large for trucks), or bricks, in which case the whole thing would be floated down the nile.  (the cuts in the blocks, are currently rectangular they need to be designed, not sure if its worth pursuing)

yes, is definitely worth pursuing the geometry of the actual cut. Why rectangular when there's not a 90degree angle in the rest of your building? what happened to the circles of simple intricacy, I ask?

Hmm. have we forgotten?

Regarding your baroque action - I would again refer to your MANIFESTO and formal agenda regarding 'simple intricacy' to inform how you pursue the texturing. If continuing with Baroque-y-ness - how to you align the geometry of the ornament to the surface or space? Do you choose ONLY those ornamental elements that begin as or are derived from spheres? (probably yes, no?)

Hmmm. And so on.
